... run, as the IHT notes, by energy investment banker and energy adviser to President George W. Bush, Matthew Simmons, as well as physicist George Hart. Simmons and Hart say that wind turbines built just off the coasts of the U.S. offer better, more powerful wind resources than many onshore wind plans, and that the Gulf of Maine in particular has some of the best wind areas in...

... plan to get the U.S. off of fossil fuels, which the group calls the “Pickens Plan Plus” or the “Simmons Plan’ — use wind farms to power the grid, but add in the large amounts of offshore wind around the U.S. The Ocean Energy Institute is run by energy investment banker and energy adviser to President George W. Bush, Matthew Simmons, and physicist George Hart. They believe off-shore...

The start of something big

Now this is what I'm talking about: Matthew Simmons wants to build a 5-Gw wind farm using massive, far-offshore turbines that haven't exactly, uh, been designed or built yet. Because the winds are strongest several miles offshore, the turbines would be mostly out of sight of land, built on floating platforms anchored some 12 to 20 miles off the coast in waters 100 to 200 meters, or 330...
